A Biden official says Israel committed war crimes. Who else will come forward? | Ahmed Moor

The administration lied to obscure a genocide. Now a former spokesperson is revealing the disconnect between words and reality

Politicians lie, and the people around them do too. When it's convenient - when the whole world is pulsing with revulsion, for example - they begin to reveal flavors of the truth.

The Biden administration lied more than most, its public-facing members particularly. Its policy in Palestine was to embrace the Israelis in a bear hug" - to smother them with love. And there's thin cover for a genocide beyond lies.
